install up to date Haskell platform
install gtk+ all in one bundle 2.16
add MinGW’s bin address to PATH Environment variables
add GTK+’s bin address to PATH Environment variables
and on CMD
I execute the
cabal update
cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools
so far so good
but when I execute the
cabal install gtk

You’re hitting a bug in Gtk2hsSetup.hs, the bug and a workaround is described here.
I would recommend adding yourself to that ticket on the trac so that you’ll be notified when a fix becomes available.
